Im so happy we didn't draft this kid. I was at the Draft party and was one of a few hundred booing our asses off when the Kings selected him ahead of us.. Looks like we avoided Anthony Randolph 2.0 I still can't believe they went as far as bringing in his high school coach too.________________________________________________Word is that handling rookie forward DeMarcus Cousins is proving to be an even bigger job for coach Paul Westphal and his staff than expected, even after the Kings hired Cousins' high school coach (Otis Hughley) in hopes of keeping the 20-year-old -- freshly relegated to a bench role -- plugged in.

One source close to the situation told ESPN.com that Cousins was fined recently for clashing with members of Westphal's staff. I've also been advised that it's not one-and-done as far as such clashes go, which has created a level of tension that -- anticipated or not -- obviously isn't what the Kings need when they're already operating at such an experience deficit on top of their serious defensive frailties.________________________________________________http://espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/_/page/dime-101112-14/testing-early-trade-winds
